That History Bloke visits Year 2

20th May 2021H Langley

That History Bloke came to visit to teach us about George Stephenson. First we played a game of True or False, then learned about what life was like for George Stephenson growing up, what he was like as an inventor and about mining during the Georgian era. We were able to make candles that miners would use down the mine and see some artefacts and objects from that time. We then used role play to learn about the locomotive competition that George Stephenson won with ‘The Rocket’ and were able to think about different people’s feelings about the railways expanding. Finally, we were able to sculpt our own locomotive using clay.

Amazing home learning in year 2

Over the past two weeks the children have been so busy, writing character descriptions, finding half and quarter in maths and have done some fantastic art. Not forgetting the fun they’ve been having in the snow!
